• Beware of scammers!

Someone messaged me on LinkedIn, asking me if I had any experience with web3. After a positive reply, they told me that they needed help to complete a project.

They asked me to move the conversation to Telegram (🚩). I accepted. On Telegram, they sent me the link to a GitHub repo. The repository was public, but with few commits and 0 stars. They wanted me to give them a quote.

The repository appeared to be a normal React app, with emotion and MUI. It was actually quite big, with many components and a complex structure.

I looked in the package.json, and there was a start script. This script called "npm run config", which in turn executed "src/optimize.js". This immediately caught my attention. The file was obfuscated code. It was quite long. There were some array of strings that resembled "readDir", "rmDir", "Google Chrome", "AppData" and "Brave".

Fucking scammer. I guess that script would have tried to steal my cookies, crypto if I had any, it's definitely something malicious. I reported the user on LinkedIn and the repository. Hope they will take action soon.

Stay safe and don't execute code from strangers!!

• Is anyone else here into game development because the game you want just doesn't exist?

Honestly it's my white whale. Finding the game of my dreams. I can't find it, been trying for years. It just doesn't exist.

It's an obsession, literally. I crave a game so badly and yet what I want just doesn't exist, not even close.

For example, this is the game I want: Every time I read a "litrpg" book, like those Korean novels/mangas with MMO elements, I imagine so many cool things in my head, I want a game like that.

I want a 2D, top-down game with many many different systems. All kinds of things like alchemy, enchantments, rebirths etc... Just system after system.

A huge 2D RPG or roguelike that is huge, as big as Skyrim in content. With cities and dungeons, lots of things to do, many things to grind, things to collect. So many skills to level, stats to gain.

I don't even want good gameplay or graphics, just a whole bunch of messy systems even if they're unbalanced.

It finally happened

• It finally happened

One of my pet peeves is when teams can't debug their production issues and immediately assume it's network-related.

Well, last Saturday I got paged for a sudden spike in system latency. I spent hours debugging and finally threw up my hands and called our network engineers.

Lo and behold, there was a faulty line card in one of our ISPs. I think I can retire now.
